Torque confusion
Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2011 8:36 pm
Re caliper bolts:
I've just been replacing some of my fasteners with Pro Bolt SS ones.
The Pro Bolt leaflet says 'when fitting flanged hex head . . . bolts use torque values specified by your equipment manufacturer'
It goes on to suggest, in a little table, a setting of 37.6 nm for M10 bolts.
Aprilia give a setting of 50 nm for the caliper bolts (M10) - a significant difference, to my mind
Any comment on which to go with?
